Catalyst 'zombie-boomstick' branch on Github for your Coding Fun!

Hello gentle readers.
Thanks to some help from Matt Trout we finally have the Catalyst Github Organization up and running and it syncs from the canonical git system managed by Shadowcat. Here's the relevant links:

Now, here's the chance for all of you that said, "If only Catalyst was on Github we'd get uber contributions." I've made a branch for the next targeted release of Catalyst, called 'zombie-boomstick'. You can see the branch on Github over here:

Free free to fork away and send pull request TO THE BRANCH. If you make the effort I will do the work of syncing it over to the canonical repo on Shadowgit myself. Here's our intended backlog for this release, over on play-perl where you can trivially make an account, comment, discuss, disagree or just minimally give a thumbs up to stuff you like:

As you can read, we've set some small goals here and my intention is this is stuff we should release in March (2013). On the other hand, if I have to do it all myself, make it 2014. So, if you really want to see Catalyst evolve and remain relevent, here it is on Github and here's a public backlog were you can look and ask questions and get involved. No thought is too silly, no question irrelevent. You have more to offer than you might believe. So, lets get to it!

I'll definitely be reviewing App::GitHubPullRequest. The thing is I need to pull the PR branches into my local checkout first, so I can push them to shadowgit and then shadowgit will push them back out to github. But if you have a better idea let me know (I am not a gitfu master)
